5ft 4in: Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham may seem tall when she’s snapped making her way through the various airports of the world – but it’s all down to clever footwear.

When Victoria modelled for Roberto Cavalli in 2006, she admitted having a bit of height insecurity. "I was so nervous. I'm not a model, I was just about the shortest person there.”

5ft 8in: Cara Delevingne

It could have all have been so different for Cara Delevingne – apparently the model’s early career suffered a set-back because she was dubbed a dwarf. Love editor Katie Grand revealed the prejudice that Cara had to overcome: “I was trying to get her in the [Marc Jacobs] show, but it was the show in which everyone was very tall and very long. I remember Marc looking at me and saying, ‘Why is that dwarf in here?’, and me being devastated... I apologised to her afterwards.”

Elle Macpherson admits that she was insecure about her height as one of the tall girls. “I was 6ft tall at 18 and now think of the times I wasted wishing I was smaller. I had all those insecure feelings about a big nose, big ears and being too tall. That awkwardness was there all the time. I never looked at myself and thought that I was a swan. All I could see was an ugly duckling.”
